[App_rpt-users] rpt.conf clarification

[Buddy Brannan]

Hey Bob,

1) It just denotes “repeater” and is optional. My talk over ID is really old school, and a holdover from when I lived in Austin. Only place I’d ever seen this, but the repeaters usually ID’ed with calsign/R AUS (airport code for Austin). So mine ID’s as KB5ELV/R ERI as a nod to my misspent youth. 

You can drop the volume of the morse ID in the morse stanza. There’s a line that goes
idamplitude=2048 (or some number)

I’ve set mine to idamplitude=1024 and idfrequency=650. Not too loud, but loud enough to be heard, and pleasant to my ear.
